Tunneling the Loss Landscape: Bypassing Memorization with Monte Carlo Parameter Swapping

arXiv:2608. 01833v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Grokking is a striking phenomenon in neural network training, where a model can undergo a prolonged period of pure memorization before abrupt generalization.

A Stochastic--Geometric Theory of Scaling Laws in Grokking

arXiv:2606. 30388v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Delayed generalization (\ie~grokking) refers to the phenomenon in which a neural network fits its training data early in training but only begins to generalize after a prolonged delay, often through an abrupt transition.
